What have You Found in the Book of Ruth?

I know many of you friends are reading the Bible. I have come to the book of Rut, a beautiful story about a woman who loved the God Almighty so much that she left her own country and relatives in Moab and followed her mother in law to Betlehem in Judah. She became one of the ancestors of Jesus Christ. Ruth was richly blessed when she left the gods of Moab and chose the true God instead. The words of Boaz, who later became her husband, must have warmed her heart: Ruth 2 (Young's Literal Translation) [b]"11And Boaz answereth and saith to her, `It hath thoroughly been declared to me all that thou hast done with thy mother-in-law, after the death of thy husband, and thou dost leave thy father, and thy mother, and the land of thy birth, and dost come in unto a people which thou hast not known heretofore. 12Jehovah doth recompense thy work, and thy reward is complete from Jehovah, God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to take refuge.'"[/b] The book of Ruth is very short and easy to read, so why not read it right now?? Or you can listen to it by downloading it at jw.org or read it online in biblegateway.com or go to watchtower.org and read it in modern English. What do you find interesting and heart warming in the book of Ruth?
